LEO ORDNER, OF NEV YORK, N. Y.

PAPER-Fl LE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No, 428,937, dated May 27, 1890.

Application led February 20, 1890. Serial No. 341,131. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that LLEo ORDNER, a subject of the Elnperor of Austria-I-Iungary, residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Paper-Files, of which the following' is a specification.

rlhis invention consists in a paper-tile composed of an elastic strap and a bar provided at its ends with strap-retaining notches and formed with abutments for the papers placed between the elastic straps and the bar.

u This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a plan view of the file with papers. Fig. 2 is a View similar to Fig. 1, the papers being removed from the ile and parts of the ile beingbroken away. Fig. 3 is a section along @c 6o, Fig. 1.

In the drawings, the letter A indicates an elastic strap or band. This strap is supported by a bar B, which bar is provided in its ends with strap-retaining notches C, holding the strap in place. The bar has abutmentsD for papers E placedbetween the strap and the bar. The file will be found very useful for such papers as bank-notes, bills, checks, and the like. vThe abutments D prevent lateral displacement of the papers.

The faces of the bar B which are turned toward the strap A are convex, Fig. 3. By making these faces convex, as shown, I have found that an intermediate bill or paper can be drawn from a bundle of papers in the file without disturbing the rest of thebundle.

IVhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. The combination, with an elastic strap, of a bar provided in its ends with strap-retaining notches and formed with abutments for the papers placed between the elastic strap and the bar, substantially as described.

2. As anew article of manufacture, a paperfile composed of anelastic strap anda convexfaced bar` provided in its ends with strap-retaining notches and formed with abutments for the papers placed between the elastic strap and the bar, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

LEO ORDNER.
